Hello, Pants World! I am a software developer based in San Jose, CA. Here is my LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wmaiouiru/ happy to connect. I am using pants for a personal project of mine.

Oh nice, I see you used to be at McD Labs. Small world. @bitter-ability-32190 is a Pants maintainer!

Yea, I was influenced by Josh to try out Pants 😄

Oh hey whaddup!

With heavy packages, it seems like pants takes a long time to build. I wonder if people have benchmark the time to run the application between pants vs. bazel. If not, maybe I can try to benchmark it for fun. The following are likely to be very heavy:

transformers==4.26.0
datasets==2.9.0
torch==1.13.1
torchvision==0.14.1

The "time to build" here seems to be "time it takes to make a PEX zipapp" which really is "time it takes to zip big things". If you wanted a better "build" time, you likely would want to use another

layout

(like

packed

). Note that Bazel also doesn't zip, so

packed

would be the most apples-to-apples
